Lots of new things 'growing' in the shop this month. But first  let's look at some pictures of  flowers from around the property. It rained all night and the grounds are wet and dewey  the air smells wonderfully fresh...

Dr. Robert (Bob) Hoffman and I have been working together for the past year or two on violin acoustics.  Bob is an inventor, he's also been developing a computer program to help us analyze violin spectra. Bob and I designed and built two experimental balsa wood violins.

The joys of raising chickens

3/12/2012

 
We raise a few chickens, an old variety known as  Buff Orpington. They give us fresh eggs every day. Roughly one egg per chicken per day. When I look out my shop window I can see the flock in the chicken run . They are always very very busy, fascinating and inspiring. I can't help but smile when I look at my chickens

daily Progress articles

2/7/2012

 
The following links are to a series of  articles about my workshop written by David Maurer for the Daily Progress  that appeared  in December of 2007.
Searching for the secret to ... good vibrations  

This article describes the moment when violinist Max Rabinovitsj played, for the first time, a replica of his Pietro Antonio Landolfi violin I made for him.

The series begins with this article, Measure of Success, where the violinist and violin maker plan the project.

    In the shop

    The purpose of this page is to entertain, educate, and inform you of events, instruments, and people currently involved in my workshop/studio. First and foremost, a violin shop is about ... violins. So, I will highlight here some instruments currently available at my shop, with a short description, perhaps some history or other points of interest. I'll also announce newly made instruments as they are completed.
